FREE SCREENING! Introduction by film historian Maria Elena de las Carreras

Unseen in 80 years, this Spanish-language version of TEN CENTS A DANCE (1931) stars Mexican actress Lupita Tovar as a dance hall girl trying to navigate a man's world. Tovar, in the role originated by Barbara Stanwyck, embodies the character and communicates the challenges of living a difficult life while facing the temptations offered by a rich man offering an easy life.
